I'm feeling so blessed and alive reflecting on Wednesday night's CBQ workshop, where the lovely Jen Lucas “chimed” in with sound bowls for the first time. Can I say it was AMAZING? The vibration in the room felt super INTENSE and SOOTHING simultaneously. Yeah, let...

Sunday, I hosted the first CBQ live IN PERSON workshop, and it was amazing. 13 beautiful souls together sharing a cup of cacao, a clearing breath session, and energy enhancement with QiGong. It was the perfect way to close out the week and open space for the new week....

These days, I spend lots of time in nature on trails, walking, hiking, biking, and meditating. Being among the sounds, smells, insects, animals, and plants brings me a deep sense of calm. I love how it deeply resonates with my internal system and invites a soothing,...

Change is good, right? So we had a retaining wall give way this summer in the backyard, unfortunate but shit happens. Staring out at the blank space that once was covered with evergreen trees, I began to think, whooaa, this looks weird…I’m not sure if I’m going to...
